Bidder Reviews for Matthews Auctions, LLC (159)

Steve, you were offered a full refund, but you chose to keep the engine and we agreed on a 3000 refund, because if it would have been such a big problem you would have turned the engine away, but even you knew that the flywheels were likely already bent prior to purchase because that is the reason they got some of these great engines is because they were not useful in the oilfields anymore due to damage or something of the sort. As for the engine tipping over, it was mounted on some wooden blocks for display in the museum and after many years the blocks had rotted and when we went to move it the engine tipped off. The engine tipped off slowly and it would have not caused the flywheels or the crank to have been bent with how it fell. As for pickup, we got ready for loadout a day earlier than expected, so we called some of the bigger buyers and asked them if they wanted to come get the items out of the way, you were not demanded to come and pick your stuff up. As you said yourself you are so busy, you didn't even have time to check your phone, so kind of surprising you were able to make time to come and pick up some of your stuff so short notice. Also, not sure of anybody walking all over the engine and the foot marks that you speak of, this is the first time I have heard of that and did not see them when we looked over the engine with you. Also kind of strange that you waited over 3 months to write a bad review for something that was handled, but it just shows that you like stirring the pot or upsetting the apple cart once again.
